Hi everyone!
I’m sharing a message from our friends over at Devon County Council who are once again organising The BIG FIX - a month-long event in May to celebrate community repair across the UK:
It’s time again to invite you to join in The BIG FIX 2025, running Any Day in May, to help raise awareness of the importance of Repair Cafés to their communities and in helping protect the planet.
Many Repair Cafés report feeling on their own, but by being part of a nation-wide event like The BIG FIX, this can help them not feel so isolated. The BIG FIX also has the potential through media coverage to attract new volunteers and customers and so mend more items, thereby protecting precious resources.
Participating Repair Cafés will be sent a logo, template press release, and data gathering and template photo consent forms. All we ask for in return is for the Repair Cafés to contribute their data and feedback from their May event, which will be used to highlight The BIG FIX’s success and help gather momentum to take the Repair Café movement forward.
If you are able to join in, please complete the registration form attached and email/scan a copy back to me, or online through The BIG FIX 2025 Registration. I also attach last year’s report and infographic for your information and the logo ready to use.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.Jennifer Cooper
